Blind woman cured thanks to AI-guided laser surgery, and surprisingly she can see better than everyone else
Patricia Gonçalves, a 31-year-old woman who was legally blind, regained her sight thanks to artificial intelligence-guided laser surgery. The technology, which simulates up to 2,000 surgical procedures in minutes, allows the patient to see better than most of the population.
What we found in this news that is circulating on social networks such as Instagram or TikTok, is worth saying that we ended the year well. The story is the following. Patricia Gonçalves, a 31-year-old woman classified as blind, has regained her sight thanks to a new laser surgery guided by artificial intelligence.
The funny thing is that not only did he regain his sight, but he can now see better than most of the population.
How did she get it? The surgery is done by creating a “digital twin” of Patricia’s eyes in just 10 minutes. This virtual model simulates up to 2,000 different surgical styles and procedures to find the best option for each patient. It’s like a dress rehearsal before the real thing, but on a grand scale.
As for the results, Patricia wasn't the only one to emerge victorious. In previous trials involving 200 patients, many achieved perfect vision within just three months after surgery.
The issue of digital twins, although it has been around for several years, becomes very relevant in 2024, as they are finally being used quite regularly.
Despite the fact that they are not typical simulations, digital twins are already widely used.
The future, already present in cases like Patricia’s, is almost limitless. Thanks to machine learning, digital twins are constantly learning new skills and capabilities, which means they can continue to generate the knowledge needed to improve products and make all kinds of processes more efficient.
